Not at all! My coding works *only* because @LE isn't expanded in the
@item line which is a bug IMHO.
Here my original problem:
\input texinfo
@setfilename yyy
@ifnottex
@macro angles{text}
<\text\>
@end macro
@end ifnottex
@iftex
@macro angles{text}
@angleleft\text\@angleright
@end macro
@end iftex
This is a @angles{test}.
@table @asis
@item This is a @angles{test}.
@end table
@bye
If I say `makeinfo yyy.texinfo' and `texi2dvi yyy.texinfo', it works.
Unfortunately, I can't use this with more complicated macros which I
have to use in @deffn due to the buggy @macro processing in
texinfo.tex.
Using `texi2dvi -e yyy.texinfo' doesn't work. Here the result of
`makeinfo -e xxx yyy.texinfo':
\input texinfo
@setfilename yyy
@ifnottex
@end ifnottex
@iftex
@macro angles{text}
@angleleft\text\@angleright
@end macro
@end iftex
This is a <test>.
@table @asis
@item This is a @angles{test}.
@end table
@bye
For me, this isn't useful output. If the -e option is active, macro
definitions in `@iftex ... @end iftex' environments *must* be
processed IMHO! And I can't see a reason why this is disabled.
Using the --iftex option fails, of course:
makeinfo --iftex -E xxx yyy.texinfo
results in
yyy.texinfo:17: Unknown command `anglelefttest@angleright'.
yyy.texinfo:21: Unknown command `anglelefttest@angleright'.
makeinfo: Removing macro output file `xxx' due to errors;
use --force to preserve.
makeinfo: Removing output file `yyy' due to errors;
use --force to preserve.

[BTW, there is a another bug: It is possible to say
makeinfo -e yyy yyy.texinfo
which should be prohibited -- I don't think that anyone needs both
the expanded texinfo date and info output in the same file.]
